It'll Be Ok...

It’s almost Christmas now. We’ve still got Christmas thoughts spinning in our head. We want to be able to take care of the boys gifts today. I pretty much know what I want to give them each. Just a matter of getting out of the house.

Yesterday we were at work. Didn’t get as much accomplished as we would have liked. Maybe tomorrow. We have to be careful not to relax too much. It’s different at the Center with everyone gone, ‘cept me and the Sister.

We are having a difficult stretch. We know there will be a lot of time spent by ourselves over the next couple of weeks. The Sister and us agreed that we will come in on both Mondays, Tuesdays, and Saturdays. We’ll have to figure out what to do with our time on the Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays. It’s a lot of time when you are on your own.

Would like to take the boys out one of them days. Usually Macadam, his family and Jacob will go, but not so much Tanner. We miss the days. I remember the last few Christmas’ with all of the boys together. They were wonderful.

Maybe this year I can ask Tanner if we could come over for a little bit and spend time with him. He spends most of his "free" time on the computer (hehe - like his Mom). But, he and Jacob and their friends are very much into the game world. I know Shadowbane is one of the games, not sure though if this is the major one or if there are others.

Tanner has four computer’s set up in one of his extra rooms. They’ve all got super big screens. The guys and his girl friend too, interact together on screen and from the room. It’s super cool to hear them talking and laughing and sometimes being so serious. We figure we could certainly find something to do on one of the extra computers while listening to them play. We’ll see ... maybe if I ask?

We very much miss their company. Sometimes, to cover ... we remember the past and slip our minds back to the days when the three of them would each race to see who would get to sit next to Mom. Hey guys ... we’ve got an opening! I know, I know ... they need to find themselves in their new worlds first, right? Just we miss them.
